Got my winter shoes on!
I've put on my winter tires/rims. Enkei Performance Ammodo wheels with Pirelli Winter 240 Sottozero Series II RFT tires. I couldn't get Blizzaks in 19" RFT's. I hope the Pirellis are as good.
BRING ON THE DAMN SNOW!

Damn son! That looks pretty sick! I'm jealous. I want some winter tires, but I cant bring myself to justify spending that much for like 4-5 snowboarding trips. I live in So. California.
I do have my stock 18" E92 wheels. Anyone know if I can just throw some winter tires on those and slap them on my F25?

Nice looking set of winter shoes. No offense, but since I'm just south of you in DE, I hope they never see a single flake!

It seems a bit early to put those on. I bought the same tires that I will put on some 368M wheels but even in Quebec I am still waiting a couple more weeks. That kind of tire does not like the heat so I hope it is fairly cold in your neighborhood!

Good deal, thanks, richardew.
My OEM Conti SSR's are far enough in that I'm thinking they're not gonna be very good for any bit of weather so I'm about to follow richardew's lead with the SottoZero's. I'm in NoVA so it doesn't get very cold here. Since I can't find any All Season RFT's, seems that the SottoZero's are the way to go and soon. I'm hoping I can use them for two seasons. Reasonable? What kind of temp can they handle? Am I gonna totally blow them away if we get a late 80 degree day or two?

When the weather is bad I have to go to work. When it's really bad, I have to go to work. When it's snowing 21" and all of the sane people are indoors, I have to go to work. Winter tires aren't an option for me.[/QUOTE] I hear ya!! Then you've made a good decision!

It seems like it was the PERFECT time to put them on! I just wish the other drivers had them on also. Had to make the return leg of a road trip back from Virginia. Cold driving rain for most of the trip and then snow covered highway the last 35 miles. I'll give the Sottozeros a pass.
